Can I RECORD 2 tracks (SIMULTANEOUSLY) at the same time using both input jacks or is it limited to recording one track at a time?

Yes you can. I would rate my dp-004 rather highly except for the flaw that i have never been able to upload my music to my PC computer via the usb cable. Perhaps if someone could explain it to me in very simple terms i might step by step do it. But the instructions from tascam are either ambiguous or confusing or simply wrong, because i have never ben ablr to save my recordings to PC.

Yes you can. You have two separate inputs, and you can record either or both.

You can record separate tracks but it will be one file. If you want separate files, they will need to be recorded separately.

I recommend you read the manual. I'm using this unit for stereo recordings, but I believe there's a mono setting which would do that. Keep in mind there are only 4 XLR Powered connections

I haven't tried. My understanding is it will not allow more than one input to be output together at the same time as it is not a mixer. Ask the manufacturer direct.

Yes, if you have a recording program (DAW) that records two channels at the same time. Most programs let you place each channel on a separate track where you can locate the sound where you want in the stereo image (pan).

Both previous answers are correct. Your recording software will dictate how the audio signal from each input is handled. A typical default is to have the two inputs split to right and left (stereo). Garageband, Peak, ProTools, Reaper, will allow you to mix the two together however you like.

Scott, there are 2 condenser mics and 2 inputs, you can record all at the same time, but it will be stereo for that recording (mics as left and inputs as the right channel - you can set up for four track recording and record each tracknsepetately like any other multi track - the real magic of this device is the ability to record the whole room and off the board at the same time, and the compact size. The software is cumbersome, and the "new" file set up is missing ( which sucks if you want to cut up your files live because starting a new file isn't set up properly) my only negative - that being said, it's a great littl idea catcher and the quality is very good.

Hi, yes to some extent, you can use "Layer" mode to simultaneously play two sounds at once, any sound can be stacked with another sound from a different category bank. But there is n o way to adjust the balance between layered sounds, so that is a bit of a bummer. Let us know if you have any other questions we can answer for you! The Midi Store

You have the two channel output only - tweak the channels left and right to get your two tracks

You cannot use both the input and output on the 2 track at the same time, they can only be used 1 at a time.

You could use any mixer/interface with multiple XRL inputs. To record each input as a separate track (which you will want to do to get a better quality drum recording), you'll want a USB or firewire interface. For a cheap multitrack recording program, you can look into Reaper, and some interfaces even come with their own programs. I hope this helps! Best of luck.

It only records 2 tracks at a time but you can control 8 channels on a daw. Through USB midi interface. But you can only record 2 tracks at a time.

USB sends two tracks, which by default are stereo right and left, but you can use R and L as SUB1 and SUB2 simply by using the PAN control knob as a SUB ASSIGN knob and record any given channel or group of channels - e.g., say guitar and vocals - on two separate tracks while playing/singing at the same time.

No, Justin. This splitter is designed for headphones so two people can listen at the same time, and you can't record since it has a one way audio.

Hello RR Mason, To Answer your questions I've got to say Yes to all. This unit has 2 sets of in/out "Monitor/Record" jacks. By having a Tape Player/Recorder connected to #1 and CD Recorder/Player connected to #2 it is as simple as either monitor #1 with #2 or vice versa, or record to both devices, by monitoring a third source, (i.e.) phono, tuner, aux. Personally I havn't set mine up to do this, but I'm sure it would work if I did. Hope this helps. Best of Luck. Sonicman

The question is not about listening to two outputs at the same time.The intent of the question is to give myself the flexibility to route one source to a decoder of my speaker system (for example) while routing an other source to the input of my sound card to record it but be able to then switch to that later back to he speaker if I want to listen to it directly. Basically: n-way multiplexing.

You can record both at the SAME TIME onto DIFFERENT tracks! But yeah, you could definitely do what you're saying.
